64 ladies joined us on 16th March 2022 for a very special Ladies Lunch at the beautiful Vana Belle resort, overlooking the stunning stretch of Chaweng Noi.
It was a delight to be welcomed by the Vana Belle team – firstly with valet parking, and being greeted by the F&B team in the Kiree Restaurant with wonderful views across the blue sea. The drinks selection, and the much enjoyed menu and warm hospitality made for a wonderful day for all. Our special thanks to Vana Belle also for donating a Gift Voucher for our lucky door prize on the day. A shoutout to the Vana Belle team: GM Francois Poletti, Venue Manager Khun Jeab, F&B Manager Khun Pompi and Chef Julonk.
Our thanks to our guest speaker on the day, Jenny Connor, who recently settled on the island. Jenny shared a little about her background, her travels around Asia, how she came to be living in Koh Samui. Look out for Jenny and her husband’s soon to open business KHAN SPACE, a co-working space in Chaweng (opposite Success Gym).
It was lovely to see so many new faces at the March lunch – we do hope you’ll continue to join us the monthly Ladies Lunch.
On the day, we shared an update on the SOS fundraising, community initiatives and events, including:
- Fundraising in February 2022 was approximately THB 24,000, including funds raised from the February Ladies Lunch at TEMBO Beach Club, and the Women’s Health Talk at Miskawaan Health Center on International Women’s Day.
